Shaggy parasol (Chlorophyllum rhacodes), Tintern, Monmouthshire (lockdown image)
As the name suggests, the shaggy parasol has a shaggier cap than the parasol (Macrolepiota procera). The stipe (stem) is plain in the shaggy parasol, not patterned like Macrolepiota. Unlike Macrolepiota, it is not safe to eat -- some consumers suffer stomach upsets. The display on my new D5600 flips open and twists upwards, enabling pictures to be taken from a very low angle, a useful feature in this case.
